Possible polyphyletic origin of major histocompatibility complex class I chain-related gene A (MICA) alleles.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Jul 2003

Choy Mun-Kit, Phipps Maude E

Abstract excerpt

Phylogenetic relationships among 23 nonhuman primate (NHP) major histocompatibility complex class I chain-related gene (MIC) sequences, 54 confirmed human MICA alleles, and 16 human MICE alleles were constructed with methods of sequence analysis. Topology of the phylogenetic tree showed separation between NHP MICs and human MICs. For human MICs, the topology indicated monophyly for the MICB alleles, while MICA...
